I also wonder what they are going to do about free books, maybe not include them at all? So then will we start seeing book promotions for $0.01 instead of free? Anyway, I think this can only be good news for readers, as (hopefully) publishers will price some interesting books cheap, in an effort to crack the NYT list.
But also: it looks like they are tracking sales through publishers, not retailers. So what does that mean for indie and self-publishers, which should have higher sales (relatively speaking) in ebook sales vs print sales?
